Default advice on control arms and steering stablizers

Hey folks, since I have gotten my 3" lift with 35's I've noticed that my steering seems bit loose. For example if I hit a rut in the road or something like that I feel my jeep start to drift. Was wondering what I can do to resolve this problem. My knuckles are tired of being white.

The control arm install is very easy and they are worth every penny. I put the Teraflex arms on mine and have had no problems with them.

Getting the control arms and adjusting caster will give you a more positive feel in your front end. I'd also consider taking your current steering stabilizer off while you get the control arms dialed in.
